Super-synopsis, in case you missed the movie: The League of Shadows intends to destroy Gotham (America) believing it to be corrupt and beyond saving. (i.e. “We had to destroy the city in order to save it.”) To achieve that end they combine forces with the evil people already in charge of Gotham (America), release criminals and bring in outsiders to destroy what’s left of the city. Hero (Batman) saves the day.

I guess Putin is still trying to teach Barry choreography, right up to the last dance:

Suffice it to say that the 35 Russians that Barry has just expelled from the United States are the first non-citizens any Democrat has ever wanted out of this country. Which is one of the reasons we’re now saying “President-Elect Trump”.

"There have been times where America's shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive" ... Obama, Strasbourg April 3, 2009

Followed by this:

“We have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms.” Obama, Summit of the Americas April 17, 2009

Of course he was referring to George W. Bush’s America, not the new-improved-transformed-by-Obama-America. In this America don’t even think about criticizing the Obama Agenda. Any and all resistance will be considered an unprovoked personal attack on Obama by a hostile enemy and will be treated accordingly. Which is to say your aggressive behavior will trigger a retaliation and you will be summarily dissed, dismissed, derided, disengaged and we will dictate the terms to your ultimate defeat.

No Mr. Netanyahu, Barry will not be right with you.

And if you don’t believe me, just ask any ofour former allies.And he’s not done yet – after all Israel still exists! Butt no matter how long Jean Carré manages to filibuster with the

Butt let the record reflect that our historic President is certain that his way is the right way. After all, who would know more about World Peace than the man whose foreign policy has done more to destabilize the Middle East than the Roman Empire?

Na na na na, na! I can’t hear you!

Barry’s surrogates will be working right up till the bitter end: drawing those red lines that can then be crossed

by leading from behind. Obama’s America: seldom right, never uncertain.

Parting shot: Bang!

Careful there Barry, Bibi’s got a real gun and he knows how to use it.

“When an American president has to issue veiled warnings to Vladimir Putin — say something that Putin should know as second nature — then something terrible has happened. Some upset has occurred. A thing that was previously there to keep the floor level has gone missing.” – Richard Fernandez March, 2014

“ Ha ha ha, it’s called ‘muscle’ my little golubushka, I’ll show you how it works if you want.”

The Obama administration is close to announcing a series of measures to punish Russia for its interference in the 2016 presidential election, including economic sanctions and diplomatic censure, according to U.S. officials.

The Obama administration said it has seen no evidence of hackers tampering with the 2016 presidential election, even as recount proceedings began in Wisconsin.

“The federal government did not observe any increased level of malicious cyber activity aimed at disrupting our electoral process on election day,” the official added. “We believe our elections were free and fair from a cybersecurity perspective.”

“We stand behind our election results, which accurately reflect the will of the American people,” a senior administration official told POLITICO late Friday.

And besides, didn’t our most articulate president ever already handle the sticky wicket created by Russia hacking our election?

Mr. Obama said he was committed to sending the Kremlin a message that “we can do stuff to you,” but without setting off an escalating cyberconflict.

“There have been folks out there who suggest somehow if we went out there and made big announcements and thumped our chests about a bunch of stuff, that somehow it would potentially spook the Russians,” he said. “I think it doesn’t read the thought process in Russia very well.”

Mr. Obama said he told (Putin) “to cut it out, there were going to be serious consequences if he did not.”

It’s not as if we haven’t had harsh words for Putin before, like when he invaded Crimea in 2014; that time we unleashed the officially sanctioned mouthorgan know as the State Department:

Yesterday (Obama) skipped a meeting of his national security team at the White House to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine to work on his fantasy football picks. He was briefed laterby Susan Rice, because she’s known for her ability to cut through the facts and present just the simple parts. Then, after they sent Sam Power to the UN to put a scold on Russia, Big Guy called Putin himself.

After 90 minutes of trying unsuccessfully to persuade Pooty to pull his troops out of the Crimea be told him that he was left with no option other than to proceed with the inaction he called for on Friday afternoon. Accordingly, he cancelled plans for planning the Russian-hosted G-8 summit scheduled in June, and Putin hung up on him. So, rude letter to follow.

President-elect Donald Trump on Friday shared a letter he received from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who urged the next president "to take real steps to restore the framework of bilateral cooperation" while offering Trump his "warmest Christmas and New Year greetings."

"I hope that after you assume the position of the President of the United States of America, we will be able -- by acting in a constructive and pragmatic manner -- to take real steps to restore the framework of bilateral cooperation in different areas as well as bring our level of collaboration on the international scene to a qualitatively new level."

I feel bad about missing the first day of Kwanzaa, which was yesterday; especially since it was the 50th anniversary of the made-up African-American holiday slated to take the place of Christmas by it’s 75th anniversary.

The Obamas issued their standard Kwanzaa greeting from Hawaii, saying the 7 day holiday is a time to “reflect on the rich African-American culture.”

The president emphasized the principles enshrined in the Kwanzaa holiday: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.

He said those principles reflect Americans' most cherished values. - AP

Moonbattery, has pointed out in the past that those values make you more Symbionese-American than African-American:

Actually, these are the values that would make you not American, but Symbionese. They Kwanzaa was invented by 1960s black power radical Ron Everett, aka Maulana Karenga. Even in the swamps of hippie era radical politics, Karenga stood out as a particularly unsavory character. His United Slaves outfit murdered rival Black Panthers, and Karenga himself was convicted of torturing women, using vices and hot soldering irons among other implements. Kwanzaa was created explicitly to divide Americans by alienating blacks from the Christian holidays that unite us.

I would like to point out that while African-Americans are welcome to share and enjoy every other holiday celebrated in America, including our inferior Western New Year if they wish, non-African Americans celebrating Kwanzaa would be considered an egregious act of cultural appropriation. Odd, given that Kwanzaa itself is a cultural appropriation of 3 non-African holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah.

Even food you enjoy when we go out during the holidays is subject to the scrutiny of Social Justice Warriors looking for new ways to be offended:

Each of these named foods are themselves the result, not the victims, of cultural appropriation.

Hypocrisy never sleeps: even as the Obama ambassador to the UN ensured the passage of the Resolution against Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Barry - without a smidgeon of pecksniffery– wished Jews around the world a Happy Hanukkah:

“As night falls over each of the next eight days, Jews in the United States, Israel, and around the world will gather to light their Hanukkah menorahs, display them proudly in the window, and recall the miracles of both ancient times and the present day.

For more than two millennia, the story of Hanukkah has reminded the world of the Jewish people’s perseverance and the persistence of faith, even against daunting odds. For more than two centuries, the meaning of this holiday has inspired an American tradition of religious freedom -- one codified in the Bill of Rights and chronicled in the enduring promise President George Washington made in his letter to the Jews of Newport, Rhode Island: that the United States ‘gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.’

The pecksniffery is strong with this one

May the flicker of each flame in every Menorah remind us all of the profound miracles in our own lives. And may the light of hope we shed continue to drive out darkness and brighten the futures we build for our families, our neighbors, our communities, and our world.

To be clear, according to Alan Dershowitz, it was Obama behind the UN resolution all along with the intent of abstaining in an attempt to tie Trump’s hand in the future. Barry doesn’t seem to understand that Trump simply refuses to comply with existing rules so the hand-tying may not work.

As Dershowitz has previously explained, when it comes to Israel Obama has always been 'Childish, Petty, and Vengeful,’ Whoever could have imagined this sort of evil duplicitousness on the part of an American president? Well, as it turns out, Glenn Reynolds.**

Obama had barely lowered his hand after being sworn in back in 2009 that Glenn Reynolds proposed that a re-run of the Carter presidency was likely a best case scenario for the lightworker, and while this has been manifestly true for quite a while now, yesterday’s UN vote seals the deal. – Powerline

THE AMERICAN vote against Israel in the Security Council Friday was, in a sense, the essential Carter. There was no good reason of state for the United States to reverse its previous refusal (twice) to condemn Israel for expelling two West Bank mayors…Yet the administration condemned Israel. It evidently did so out of a familiar impulse to be at one with the virtuous souls of the Third World, notwithstanding the complexities of the larger issue at hand.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Merry Christmas from MOTUS, Raj and Little Mo to all of our wonderful friends who have assembled a very special family here and who are very dear to our hearts.

We love each and everyone of you and wish you all a Christmas day filled with both the merry and the bright.
